HIST133D . Marcuse H A Month Ago

Professor Marcuse is very nice. You can tell he cares about what he is teaching and is very knowledgeable. However, he is so boring. His classes made me exhausted. Grades very harshly. Relies on six journal entries, which can be rough. The final is an essay at home and an in-class identification exam. Attendance based on in-class iclicker questions

HIST133D . Marcuse H 2 Months Ago

Decent... felt like grading criteria for journals was unclear and there was a TON of reading, however, the final was reflection-based and felt deceptively easy.

HIST133D . Marcuse H 2 Months Ago

The material for this class was really interesting and I enjoyed reading some of the readings such as Maus, but Marcuse himself is a flawed professor. He uses iClicker (mileage may vary), there is a lot of reading and books, and his lectures can sometimes drag, meaning that he doesn't cover all the material he wants to. Not difficult, but a hassle.

HIST133D . Marcuse H 2 Years Ago

Marcuse supplied us with some of the greatest readings I've ever had. That said, his lectures had little to no substance. Journals made me think and apply personal experience to class material. Hectic because of the strike, take this review with a grain of salt.

HIST133D . Marcuse H 13 Years Ago

Taught the topic very well. Very insightful and presented different perspectives for the Holocaust. I really learned a lot and highly recommend this class. Just make sure to kept up with the readings.

HIST133D . Marcuse H 15 Years Ago

This is a great class. There is a fair amount of work involved but nothing that is not necesary in order to learn the subject. Professor Marcuse is bery helpful all you have to do is ask for it and he will do whatever he can to help you!
